Abstract

Nakdong River Estuary is affected by the dam, barrage construction and dredge and reclaim worked artificially. So, we have studied the area input both freshwater and sea water to understand marine environment of Nakdong River estuary related to the effect of artificial work from 2013 to 2015. As a result, The discharge flow to the estuary remarkably decreased before barrage construction and the average of salinity at the estuary increased. So, the brackish water zone reduced under the influence of decreased discharge flow. The major sources of nitrate and silicate were freshwater, phosphate supplied from bottom and the open sea water. The concentration of phosphate and dissolved oxygen (DO) decreased remarkably in spring and summer. we investigated that phosphate in freshwater was removed under the influence of the estuary dam and phosphate in sea water was removed under the influence of phytoplankton. The low concentration of DO was due to decomposition of the organic compound by microorganism after phytoplankton blooms. Generally, the concentrations of chlorophyll-a in summer was higher than spring and fall. Therefore, the change of ecosystem in Nakdong river estuary was due to decrease of freshwater influx, the other change is facing because of the barrage.

낙동강 하구는 최근 하구둑, 보 등의 인공시설물 건설과 매립 및 준설 등 인위적인 활동에 많은 영향을 받고 있다. 따라서 이러한 인위적 영향에 대한 낙동강 하구의 해양환경 변화를 확인하고자 2013년부터 2015년까지 하구로 유입되는 담수를 비롯하여 해수역을 중심으로 연구하였다. 그 결과 하구로 유입되는 방류량은 보 건설전에 비해 현저히 감소하였고, 평균 염분은 증가하여 기수역이 감소한 것을 확인하였다. 질산염과 규산염의 주요 공급원은 유입되는 담수로 나타났으며 인산염은 저층과 외해에서 공급되었다. 인산염과 용존산소의 농도는 춘계와 하계에 급격히 감소하는 양상을 나타냈다. 담수의 인산염은 하구둑에 의한 영향으로 제거되었고, 해수의 인산염은 식물플랑크톤에 의해 제거 되는 것을 확인하였다. 낮은 용존산소 농도는 식물플랑크톤의 대번성 이후 미생물에 의해 분해되면서 저층에서 소모되어 나타난 결과로 판단된다. 일반적으로 춘계와 추계에 대번성하는 식물플랑크톤의 일반적인 특성에 비해 낙동강 하구에서는 하계에 높은 경향을 보였다. 따라서 낙동강 하구의 생태계 변화는 유입되는 담수의 유량 감소에 의한 것으로 보에 의해 또 다른 환경변화에 직면해 있다.
